Hotels With Gym in Okayama Prefecture, Japan

Going island hopping from Okayama to Uno Port (for Teshima and Naoshima) was the best decision of this art festival trip! Staying in Okayama provided food and drinks, and there were plenty of boats that didn't require a 6 a.m. queue. During the festival, you had to get up at least 6 a.m., which was much better than Takamatsu. The hotel's free bathhouse was a lifesaver for those trudging through the art festival. The vending machines were convenient for buying water, and they even had power banks for rent. The washing machine was 300 yen per wash, though I didn't use it for drying, which was enough. Laundry is so important on a long trip. Okayama Station is a five-minute walk away, with an underground passage right outside. It's surrounded by Okayama's bustling district, with major shopping malls all around. Aeon Mall, a ten-minute walk away, has my favorite Japanese brands, Niko and Frank Store. Sun Station (Is that the name?), a shopping mall just down the street from the station, also has sports and boutique stores. On my last day, I even walked to Beams, which took about twenty minutes. Next door was Big Camera, where I couldn't stop shopping. There were several convenience stores along the way, the closest being the FamilyMart downstairs. You can see the sign for Kani Doraku right as you exit the station, and the food is really good value for money. I walked to Korakuen Garden in just over ten minutes, stopped by Little Fox Cafe, and also had brunch at the nearby Gaofen Brunch Shop. I walked to the Okayama Tenjinyama Cultural Center designed by Kunio Maekawa and happened to see the Okayama Local Art Festival. It was really nice to see the architecture and art. I was originally going to go to Okayama University to see Kazuyo Sejima, but I didn't have time, so I gave up. It was perfect to go back to Okayama Station, Osaka Airport, from Okayama. I look forward to coming again next time!

The front desk staff were very polite. We were upgraded to a very comfortable room. The view, bath, and breakfast were all satisfactory. If I had to say one thing, the coin laundry was a little hard to use. I would like to stay at this hotel again if I have the opportunity. It was a great start to my trip. Thank you.

The hotel service was warm and attentive, the hot spring was very comfortable, the rooms were clean and tidy, and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious, especially the Garlic Mountain Milk, which was particularly fragrant and rich. It is very close to Tsuyama Castle.
